The English name of urethroscopy is cystoscopicxamination, which is an endoscopic examination in which a urethroscope is inserted directly into the urethra. The invention and application of urethroscopes have a history of more than 100 years. With the continuous development of science and technology, especially the application of optical fiber and wide-angle viewing technology in the past 20 years.

Urethroscopes have also been updated and replaced, and have entered a new level in modern times. A series of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopes such as pyeloscopes, ureteroscopes, electroresectoscopes, laparoscopes and lithotripsy instruments have emerged, forming intracavitary urology, which has brought new situations and rapid progress to urology. Cystoscopy is becoming safer and less painful.

Many people don't know how painful urethroscopy is. In fact, under the operation of a skilled urologist, most patients only need to use a little local anesthetic to complete this examination. Some female patients (female urethra is wide, short and straight) can even undergo urethroscopy without anesthesia. Only very few patients need to undergo this examination under general intravenous anesthesia.

If you still have concerns about urethroscopic examination and your financial situation allows, you can also find a hospital with fiber-optic electronic urethroscope to undergo urethroscopic examination. The fiber electronic urethroscope has a larger observation range, clearer images, and is thinner and softer than ordinary urethroscopes. Of course, undergoing a fiberoptic cystoscopy will be much less painful than undergoing a regular urethroscopy. Uretroscopy is becoming safer and less painful. So, when your doctor recommends that you have a cystoscopy, please do not hesitate, it is not as painful as you think. Of course, not all urinary system diseases require urethroscopy.
